Observational Study on Determinants of Dementia After Stroke
This study looks at why some people develop memory problems (dementia) after a stroke. Researchers aim to find early signs in the brain and blood that could predict who might be affected, hoping to help develop ways to prevent it.

Discontinuation of Antithrombotic Treatment Following Patent Foramen Ovale Closure in Young Patients With Cryptogenic Stroke
This study looks at stopping blood-thinning medicine a year after a heart procedure called PFO closure. It's for younger people who had a stroke with no clear cause. We want to see if stopping this medicine is safe and if it lowers the risk of bleeding while still preventing new strokes.

Transmission Electron Microscopy Images for Platelet Ultrastructural Criteria Before and After the Onset of an Antiplatelet Agent
This study looks at tiny pictures of blood cells called platelets from stroke patients. Doctors want to see how these cells change before and after starting blood-thinning medicine. This could help them understand how well the medicine works and prevent future strokes.

Combination of Hypothermia and Thrombectomy in Acute Stroke
This study looks at whether cooling the body to 35°C (mild hypothermia) along with standard treatment (like clot removal) can help people who’ve had a severe stroke. Researchers want to see if this cooling leads to a better recovery without serious side effects.

Distal Ischemic Stroke Treatment With Adjustable Low-profile Stentriever
This study is looking at a new device called the Tigertriever 13 to treat a type of stroke called ischemic stroke. It aims to see if this device is safe and effective at unblocking blood vessels in the brain, compared to standard medical care, for people who have had a stroke recently.

Thrombo-inflammation Biomarkers Trial in Acute Cerebral Hypoxia
Researchers are studying whether certain blood markers can help us understand brain damage caused by a lack of oxygen. This study compares these markers in people with serious brain conditions to those with milder, temporary problems, to see how they link to recovery.

Searching for Explanations for Cryptogenic Stroke in the Young: Revealing the Etiology, Triggers, and Outcome
This study, SECRETO, looks into why younger adults have strokes when the cause isn't clear. It aims to find out what triggers these strokes, how people recover, and if genetics play a role, to help improve care for patients.

Measuring Absolute Brain Flow and Brain Microcirculation Resistance by Continuous Thermodilution
This study looks at a new way to measure blood flow in the brain after a stroke to understand why some patients don't fully recover. It uses a small wire to check how well tiny blood vessels in the brain are working after a clot is removed.

Safety and Efficacy of Intravenous Thrombolysis in Patients With Ischemic Stroke and Direct Oral Anticoagulants Intake
This study looks at a treatment called 'thrombolysis' for stroke patients who have recently taken certain blood thinners. We want to see if this treatment is safe and helps people recover better after a stroke, compared to standard care.

Evaluation of the efficacy of intra venous dornase alfa (Pulmozyme®) on arterial recanalization in post-thrombectomy angiography in patients managed for ischemic stroke with thrombolysis and eligible for thrombectomy: a single-center phase II trial.
This study looks at whether a drug called Pulmozyme, given through a vein, can help clear blood clots in the brain after a stroke. It's for patients who have had a stroke and are having an operation to remove the clot, to see if Pulmozyme helps blood flow return to normal more quickly.
